Advantages And Disadvantages Of Waste

In “Waste Not, Want Not” written by Bill McKibben, different topics were brought to the discussion and categorized as waste. There are many harmful kinds of waste McKibben identified to be dangerous: moreover, the topics I am going to discuss effect severe negative global warming impacts on earth. The kinds of waste Mckibben identifies that I think are most harmful are carbon monoxide waste, forest waste, and government waste.

The biggest source of waste is paper, every time a letter is opened, the envelope is thrown away, and when printing goes wrong the paper is thrown away. Ink cartridges from printers and photocopiers are thrown away when empty, as are multiple pens when they run out of ink.

Waste is a non-value adding activity. 7 types of wastes: Transportation, Inventory, (Excess) Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Over-Processing, and Defects (TIMWOOD). 8th category: Unused creativity.

What is toxic waste? Toxic waste is ignitable, corrosive, and infectious the humans and the environment.

In order to be corrosive it must have a PH level of 2 or

I went on the Richard G. Trefry Library and searched about hazardous waste and came across a book entitled “Risks of Hazardous Wastes” by Paul E. Rosenfeld and Lydia G. H. Feng.

It is currently a significant issue for Australia; Australia is currently one of the highest waste producing countries in the world, and has recently been ranked in the top five waste producing nations. Australia as a whole produces over 18 million tonnes of waste per year, equivalent to three million garbage trucks full of compacted rubbish. This is likely to have resulted from an increase in Australia’s overall population.

Such kind of waste emits radiations from tens to hundreds of years. These reactive radicals make the sand or the water contaminated. It is known as mixed waste. The mixture cause hazardous chemical reactions and leads to dangerous complications.

Nonhazardous industrial wastes are various levels of wastes that are as result of industrial activity of producing goods and products but are within manageable levels that are not harmful (Letcher & Vallero, 2011). The nonhazardous industrial wastes are in form of solid, liquid, semi-liquid or gaseous materials from the industries. The examples of nonhazardous industrial wastes include sludge from water supply treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant, and air pollution control facility.

When a waste cause threat to human health, it is considered as hazardous (RCRA, 1978). According to RCRA of USA all the wastes are solid
